Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 4 slices sugar-free bacon
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon crushed rosemary

Instructions
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and poke them all over with the prongs of a fork. Place them in a slow cooker and cook on low 8-10 hours.
- Heat your oven to 400F.
- Add the bacon to a cold skillet set over medium heat. Cook 8 minutes, until beginning to crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and let drain on paper towels.
- Add the onion and broccoli to the skillet and cook 4-5 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the chicken, paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper; cook 5-6 minutes, to until cooked through.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and arrange on a greased baking sheet. Scoop out some of the flesh from each potato to form a shallow boat. Fill each potato with the chicken and broccoli mixture. Bake for 20 minutes, until the potato skins are crisp and the broccoli is lightly charred.
Notes
Don't throw out the scooped out sweet potato - use it for sweet potato breakfast bowls!
